This proposal describes plans for the Thirteenth Meeting of NewResearchers in Statistics and Probability to be held in the campus ofBritish Columbia, Vancouver, during July 27--July 30, 2010. Housing, meals,and conference facilities will be provided on campus. This conferenceseries is organized by and held for junior researchers. The primary objectiveis to provide a much needed venue for interaction among new researchers. In contrast with large meetings, this conference will be restricted in size, with a target of 85-90 participants. Sessions will be followed by panel discussions and breaks to facilitate interactions. Participants will be statisticians and probabilist who havereceived their Ph.D. within the past five years or are expecting to receivetheir degree within the next year. Each participant will present atalk or poster. Topics will range across a variety of areas in statisticalresearch from theory and methods to applications. Senior speakers will discuss topics of particular interest to new researchers.Panel discussions during the conference will cover the topics of journalpublications, opportunities in statistics laboratories and industry,funding, mentoring, and teaching.The intellectual merit of this proposal is based on its human resourcedevelopment. The professional development of new researchers isstimulated by promoting their interaction, creating networks ofcolleagues (which is usually difficult at a large meeting, such asthe Joint Statistical Meeting). Participants present their workin a smaller, more controlled conference environment, maximizingtheir intellectual interaction and growth. The primary goals of theconference are professional education of new researchers and to helpcreate a network among these junior researchers, both are vital partsof professional growth. Women, minorities, and the disabled areexplicitly encouraged to attend, and we have an established trackrecord of attracting participants from these categories.

这份提案描述了将于2010年7月27日至7月30日在温哥华不列颠哥伦比亚省校园举行的第十三届统计和概率新研究人员会议的计划。住宿、餐饮和会议设施将在校园内提供。这一系列会议是由初级研究人员组织和举办的。主要目标是为新研究人员之间的互动提供一个亟需的场所。与大型会议不同，这次会议的规模将受到限制，目标是85-90人参加。会议结束后，将进行小组讨论和休息，以促进互动。参与者将是统计学家和概率学家，他们在过去五年内获得博士学位，或预计在明年内获得学位。每位参赛者将出示图画或海报。主题将涉及统计研究的各个领域，从理论和方法到应用。高级讲者将讨论新研究人员特别感兴趣的主题。会议期间的小组讨论将涵盖新闻出版物、统计实验室和工业的机会、资金、指导和教学等主题。这项建议的智力价值基于其人力资源开发。新研究人员的专业发展是通过促进他们的互动、建立同事网络来促进的(在大型会议上，如联合统计会议，这通常是困难的)。参与者在更小、更受控制的会议环境中展示他们的工作，最大限度地实现他们的智力互动和成长。会议的主要目标是对新的研究人员进行专业教育，并帮助在这些初级研究人员中建立一个网络，这两者都是专业成长的重要部分。我们明确鼓励妇女、少数民族和残疾人参加，我们有吸引这些类别参与者的既定记录。
